Highlands House

Posted on Fri, 27 Oct 2023 by midcenturyjo

This remarkable hilltop dwelling seamlessly blends industrial charm with contemporary design. Three interconnecting pavilions sit atop a hillside in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales. Think contemporary design meets industrial-style barns, open-plan spaces and precast concrete panels. Connecting the pavillions is an art gallery walk defining areas and connecting with the vast landscape. In such a rural area sustainability takes centre stage, featuring solar power, rainwater harvesting and fire safety measures. This off-grid residence embodies meticulous planning, offering a unique blend of form, function, and environmental consciousness. Highlands House by Luke Maloney Architecture.

Tree Island

Posted on Fri, 27 Oct 2023 by midcenturyjo

Tree Island defies limitations, transforming its compact-sized house into a unique family home. Measuring just four and a half meters wide, the home cleverly rises against a neighbouring warehouse conversion, maximizing vertical space. A central, light-filled void connects living areas and hosts a thriving fig tree. A courtyard and rear garden offer tranquillity and practicality, while a hidden roof terrace provides a private retreat. This home ingeniously incorporates natural light, greenery, and expansive living spaces, turning constraints into design advantages. By Sydney-based Carter Williamson.

A cozy lakeside cabin in northern Wisconsin

Posted on Thu, 12 Oct 2023 by KiM

The days are packed, the children are piled on docks and rafts. The clarity of the sky and the water feel endless and pure. Sunkissed kids crash on sofas, exhausted at the end of the day – there is a feeling of health and joy that we know we’ll need for long winter months ahead. This is not your home, this is not a zen spa, this is a summer cabin. Pairings: clementines, sunscreen, popsicles.
Another inspiring project by Prospect Refuge. This one is more modern but with lots of plain-sawn white oak paneling, it has woodsy cabin vibes but it light and bright and perfect for enjoying the warmer months. Photos: Matthew Williams.
